Annika Crum

Annika Crum grew up smuggling books under her desk so she could read during class. In 2022 she won a National Silver Medal with Distinction from Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, as well as gold and silver key awards for best in her region. Her short story Forbidden Numbers is published in Best Teen Writing 2022. When she’s not writing uplifting stories for teens, you can find her mapping fantasy worlds with A.C. Cartography or learning career skills from the Author Conservatory.
